Thanks for the tour. Back in my college machine shop classes we wrote the programs CNC and saved them to 5 1/4" floppy disks. Then we put them in the Bridgeport reader and the mill did it's thing. I guess the tape was before the mid 80's?
Yeah tape was in the 70's and lasted until the early 80's. Punch cards were popular then too, but tape had the advantage that you could drop it and not have your program scattered all over the floor.
I wish Russ would do a you tube channel. Very nice set up, it does my OCD good to see someone else that keeps there shop clean and organize. I get raged by all my friends due to how i keep my shop. They always say i clean and organized more than i work in it. But one thing about it , i dont hunt for nothing i know right where it is. love your shop Russ.
I'll let him know. For him it's not so much a hobby as it is a side gig, and he doesn't really know anything about the rest of the work involved in making videos, so he doesn't want to invest the time. He has offered however to let me record some more videos about some of the stuff he's made, like his lathe radius turner. If that's of interest I'll talk to him about it.
@@MicksWorkshop I would like to see that and I'm a big fan of shop made tools. That would be nice to see more of his work and shop made tools . thanks for the videos.

Certainly. If you would like Russ' email is in the description, I'm sure he would be happy to give you any details you need.
